Time: Thursday Jun 30, 2005
Place: Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.
Details: On June 30, 2005, Bank of America announced it would purchase credit card giant MBNA for $35 billion in cash and stock. The Federal Reserve Board gave final approval to the merger on December 15, 2005, and the merger closed on January 1, 2006. The acquisition of MBNA provided Bank of America a leading domestic and foreign credit card issuer.

Under Bank of America, the operation was renamed FIA Card Services.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
